Evidence Base

A sound evidence base is crucial to the successful preparation of all of the LDF components.  A comprehensive evidence base allows authorities to produce relevant policy  that is demonstrably sound.

There are a number of ongoing studies that will contribute to the evidence base, to inform and support the LDF.  Executive summaries of studies commissioned to date are set out below.  The full reports are available on CD at a cost of £75 per report.  To obtain a copy please send a cheque made payable to South Shropshire District Council to Planning Policy Officer, SSDC, Stone House, Corve Street, Ludlow, SY8 1DG.

Hard copies of the reports are available for inspection, by appointment, at Stone House.

Also available at no extra cost is the Church Stretton Town Design Statement - Full Report

Future studies will include:

  • Landscape Sensitivity and Capacity Study
  • The West Housing Area Housing Assessment
  • The West Housing Area -Assessment of Gypsy/Traveller Accommodation and Needs
  • Housing Land Availability Study
